Hi Chuck,

I did that for a number of years with a Braun flash unit and film cameras. 
It does work well.  Your examples are excellent, though I notice that a 
large number of them have the subjects seated in chairs, which, I feel, is 
cheating.

I was hoping to explore the higher ISA digital settings and not have to use 
the intrusive flash.  I did use on-camera flash for some close-in shots, but 
it won't cover a large room.
